Artist Spotlight: Disco Misr - The Trio Turning Archives into Anthems
Disco Misr celebrates 9 years of remixing regional classics, and becoming one of Egypt's most sought-after acts along the way.
May 28, 2025
It's been nine years since Disco Misr began reworking classic regional hits into fresh, dancefloor-ready tracks. Whether sampling Abdel Halim or giving a Shaabi tune a new twist, they've created a sound that's equal parts homage, humor, and party.
What began as a cheeky rework project between friends has evolved into one of Egypt's most recognisable musical identities, spanning across remixes of classic tunes and chart-topping originals.
To mark the occasion, we spent a day with the crew at ZED Park where they're gearing up to launch their new album '9 Tla2y' on May 30th. The title plays on the Arabic phrase "تسعى تلاقي" and perfectly sums up their mix of hustle and happy accidents along the way.
Looking back, they shared how they started with zero formal training, just a bunch of ideas and a lot of instinct. Now they're working with some of the region's top musicians and digging through old Egyptian films to find just the right visuals that match their vibe.
At one point, the chat got emotional. What started as jokes about crying at shows turned into quiet moments admitting it's already happened, as their journey from small beginnings to sold-out shows has truly sunk in.
The album launch at ZED Park on May 30th will be a full day of music and laughs. Alongside Disco Misr, Ash, NEDZ, and Wust El Balad will perform, with standup from The Goats and Khaled Mansour as the MC. The park will be decked out with two giant living rooms and games where guests can win prizes all day long. It's a family-friendly celebration open to all ages, so bring the kids, bring your friends, and get ready for a day to remember.

The exhibition will showcase recently excavated artifacts from the Saqqara archaeological site, alongside a carefully curated selection of items presently exhibited in the 'At the Summit of the Pyramid: Civilization of Ancient Egypt' exhibition in Shanghai. The exhibition focuses on three key themes: Royal Egypt, the Era of Tutankhamun, and Archaeological Discoveries from Saqqara. Following the signing ceremony, an international press conference was held to commemorate the partnership, drawing extensive media coverage both locally and internationally. In his remarks, Khaled described the exhibition as a cultural gateway to over 5,000 years of Egyptian history, marking the start of an exceptional cultural journey that deepens cooperation between Egypt and China. He described the exhibition as a timeless cultural dialogue that bridges past and present, reflecting the artistic and creative values shared by two of the world's great civilizations. He added that the inclusion of artifacts from the ongoing exhibition in Shanghai underscores its remarkable success and strong public reception in China, expressing confidence that the Hong Kong exhibition will enjoy similar acclaim and provide a rich and distinguished cultural experience. He concluded by extending an open invitation to the people of Hong Kong, Asia, and the international community to visit the exhibition and explore the wonders of ancient Egyptian civilization, saying this event marks the beginning of a new chapter in cultural and archaeological cooperation between Egypt and China. Louis Ng underlined that China and Egypt are cradles of two of the world's oldest civilizations, united by enduring cultural and historical bonds. He described the exhibition as a milestone in cultural exchange between the two nations and a testament to the museum's dedication to promoting intercultural dialogue and advancing mutual understanding through cultural engagement.
